Smashed my Notch.. *New arrival! (pics)*

:cry:cry:cry I did something stupid today.. I was in the middle lane of a road in town in peak hour, and the traffic in front of me was slowing down. So i looked over my shoulder to check my blind spot before changing lanes, when i looked foward again the crappy early model excel had come to a very fast stop in front of me. I tried to brake and swerve but it was too late and i clippled the corner of my car with the back right corner of hers. She was very shaken but very kind.. I'm sure i said sorry a million times.. i felt so bad.. and so stupid.. The back end of her car looked a bit bent, with a broken light and stuff, but repairable. My car copped a fair whack and i think i need an entire new left hand fender, headlight, indicator lense and base. Luckily being a car with a high bum my bumper must have gone under it, because its fine. But yeah, i'm sitting here now, feeling a little bit sore, both physically and mentally. We have 3rd party so atleast her car is covered. However we have to shell out for our own repairs. What i'm asking is can anyone help with the following items? Left hand front late type 3 fender (prefferably straight and rust free) Indicator base Entire headlight I'm on centrelink with very little money and my boyfriend is working full time with most of his money going into payng of debts, so we can get our own place and stop living with his parents. So we are very strapped for cash. Any cheap/free parts would be very much appreicated!! Thanks for reading, Josie [ Edited on 18-10-2005 by jo_tas ]

We turn our backs for a second and it just jumps on the trailer! Oh well, saved us a job!

Remember this car has been sitting in the same spot for 18-24 months..

Oh and for those interested, the mazda is a 2004 model, just bought by my parents a couple of weeks ago, very nice and very powerful! (turbo diesel)
